"Big data is becoming really fundamental to how business operates, to how scientific research is done," says EDC's Ruth Krumhansl, director of the Oceans of Data Institute. But, she points out, many students don't have the training they need to keep up. This profile highlights the work of Oceans of Data Institute researchers to find ways to help prepare students by making science education more data intensive.

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in conjunction with EDC, the event is part of a national series of workshops and will be held May 12 at the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Needham, Massachusetts.
The Next Generation Science Standards require a staged implementation, according to EDC's Kim Kastens and Abigail Jurist Levy. They share their thoughts about building students' understanding of science in this commentary.
What would it take to colonize another world? What can cause Earth's climate to change? Will another large earthquake happen in California? A new full-year science curriculum, EDC Earth Science, enables students to explore these and other questions and seek answers grounded in authentic data. The curriculum was developed with support from the National Science Foundation and is fully aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards.
Two new high school science courses based on EDC's well-regarded Foundation Science materials have been developed for the Web and will soon be ready for classroom use.
An innovative program is giving students a glimpse into biotechnology—and perhaps their own futures.

I would suggest not lifting the flap in a single pass, but several short passes so as not to stretch the flap along with the overlying epithelium and basement membrane.. and thus avoiding detachment epithelium from BM.

Ambitious plans by Airbus and Boeing to dramatically ramp up their airliner build rates to fill record order backlogs are risk of being derailed by supply chains that are unwilling or unable to invest adequately in production capacity.
A special report released today by industry analyst and consultant PwC found that fully a fifth of the aerospace supply chain might not be able to deliver the needed ramp-up. And, said PwC, the situation looks set to be a key driver in a new industry-consolidating wave of mergers and acquisitions - including moves by the big airframers to buy critical but financially struggling suppliers. PwC studied the supply chains for Airbus A320, A330, A350 and A380, Boeing 737, 777 and 787, Bombardier CSeries, Comac C919, Gulfstream G280 and G650 business jets, and the Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter.
Airbus chief salesman John Leahy flagged up the danger in January at the company's New Year press briefing in Hamburg. Asked what was his biggest concern about plans to boost monthly A320 output to 44 units in the near-term and as many as 60 by the second half of the decade, Leahy answered immediately: "the supply chain".
According to PwC's global head of aerospace and defence Neil Hampson, suppliers tend to have a "sanguine view" of calls by Airbus and Boeing for capacity investment, as historically they have tended to make that investment only to see the cycle turn down. But, he said, given the airframers' huge order books and projections of dramatic fleet growth in Asia and replacement demand in the West, this time is probably different, and it's a good bet that a number of suppliers won't cope with rising volume demands.
Hampson stressed that, given the interdependence of all players in any programme's supply chain, it's highly unlikely any firm will be allowed to fail. So, he said, the alternative is acquisition by another supplier or, in extreme cases, acquisition by an airframer.
Underscoring the hazards of the current financial environment, though, is a recent example cited by PwC of that least-good outcome: Airbus parent EADS's September 2011 acquisition of a majority stake in German company PFW Aerospace, which faced a liquidity crisis.
Such deals can be expected to feature in what looks set to be a busy year for aerospace M&A. Last year was a record year, with 341 deals worth $43.7 billion topping the previous highs of 332 deals in 2010 and $42.0 billion of value in 2007.
Hampson said 2012 may not see a deal as big as the $16 billion United Technologies acquisition of Goodrich which made headlines in 2011, but this will be a year when many small to medium sized firms decide to sell, leaving big investment commitments to another owner. He stressed that there is no sign of an increase in the number of distress sales, but that now, with orderbooks full and industry prospects solid, sellers can expect a good price and buyers can invest with confidence.
And, he added, the private equity and other financial investors which characterised the pre-crash acquisitions wave are well-placed to turn a profit by selling to the trade buyers who are typical of today's M&A market.

These drops contain 2 lubricants to deliver advanced hydration for the long lasting relief of a gel with the comfort and convenience of a drop. The moderate to severe drops are unique from other lubricant eye drops because they contain GenAqua. GenAqua creates a preservative free environment in your eyes that protects your eyes just like your natural tears, making it safe to use over the long term.
Active Ingredients
Hypromellose (0.3%) (Lubricant)
Inactive Ingredients
Boric Acid, GenAqua (Sodium Perborate), Phosphonic Acid, Potassium Chloride, Water (Purified), Sodium Chloride
Instill 1 or 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed.
May cost more than others but are in a separate class!! One drop in each dry eye feels so good and lubricates them much better than other brands. My opthamologist recommended them.
My doctor recommended these to me, giving me a sample, and sending me on my way. I have since purchased them, and have been quite happy with their effectiveness. They are long-lasting.Relief is felt immediately.It should be noted that when the drops are first placed in the eye, some blurriness may occur. This is due to the contents of the drops, which include glycerine, an oily whetting solution often used in soap and cosmetics. The blurriness clears up very quickly, though, and is no real cause for concern.
This product is very effective and gentle. I have chronic dry eyes & have used more expensive brands. However, I have been very pleased with the Advanced brand and intend to continue using it.
Easy as usual. Free shipping for a $79 order works great for me.
Order was a little slow shipping, but received as ordered.

Must Love Dogs—or Dragons: Animals in Popular Romance 10/1/2012full name / name of organization: Journal of Popular Romance Studies contact email: email@example.com From the animal brides and bridegrooms in folktales to the dragons and werewolves and other shape-shifters in paranormal love stories, popular romance has long relied on animal heroes, heroines, and helpers (i.e., the leopard in Bringing Up Baby) to explore human romance. How, though, do invocations of the "animal" in popular romance differ from text to text, culture to culture, era to era? What do they suggest about the nature of love, whether the love of humans for one another or the love we feel for pets, companions, and co-workers of other species? How might a focus on the "Beast" in a popular romance novel, film, TV series, or other text help us to understand the beauties—the artistry, the interest—of that text? The Journal of Popular Romance Studies (JPRS) seeks essay submissions for a special forum examining the role of animals in popular romance media—folk tale, fiction, film, TV, music video, etc.—now and in the past, from around the world. Essays may address either literal or figurative animals, including furry fandom, pony-play, and other fetishes, as long as the overarching context is the representation of romantic love. Submissions are due by October 1, 2012. The issue is slated for publication in April, 2013. Published by the International Association for the Study of Popular Romance (IASPR), the peer-reviewed Journal of Popular Romance Studies is the first academic journal to focus exclusively on representations of romantic love across national and disciplinary boundaries. Our editorial board includes representatives from Comparative Literature, English, Ethnomusicology, History, Religious Studies, Sociology, African Diaspora Studies, and other fields. JPRS is available without subscription at http://jprstudies.org. Please submit scholarly papers of no more than 10,000 words by October 1, 2012, to An Goris, Managing Editor email@example.com. Longer manuscripts of particular interest will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Submissions should be Microsoft Word documents, with citations in MLA format. Please remove all identifying material (i.e., running heads with the author's name) so that submissions can easily be sent out for anonymous peer review. Suggestions for appropriate peer reviewers are welcome. cfp categories: cultural_studies_and_historical_approaches ecocriticism_and_environmental_studies film_and_television gender_studies_and_sexuality medieval popular_culture

2 (28 ounce) cans baked beans
2 onions, cut into wedges
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup barbeque sauce
1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
My (wonderful) Aunt used to make the BEST baked beans in the world. Since loosing her to breast cancer last March, I have been on the prowl for a recipe close to hers. This is somewhat close. I'm positive that she added brown sugar (which I did not add) and bacon, which I did add. This is a good recipe, I'm gonna play with it to see if I can get it right, the liquid smoke was very distinctive the next day, not bad, but noticable. Thanks Bob! Peace.
This recipe is definitely easy to put together, but nothing special. Easy side dish, but nothing earth shattering!
51 Ratings
Very tasty! I halved this recipe and baked in a loaf pan. My only addition was 1/4 cup of shredded pork. Topped with 2 strips of bacon before cooking.
These were really good baked beans. The second time (and every time since) that I made these, I added about 1/4 c. yellow mustard, 1/4 c. brown sugar, and some garlic powder. Hubby loves it this way!
Awesome! This reminded me of a recipe my grandmother used to make. She used to add bacon and brown sugar in addition to molasses and hers also took a long time to bake. These were so good and I love the addition of liquid smoke. I will definitely use this recipe over the summer!
Best baked beans I've ever had. The liquid smoke is what does it.
This is very tasty. I think I used bush's baked beans (original) which already had some sugar in it and the recipe came out a bit too sweet for me. Maybe I'll just use plain beans next time. Regardless, the flavor was excellent. I'll make again.
Best baked beans! I love the use of molasses versus traditional brown sugar

Triangle Scarf With Rose
Original Design by Sandi Marshall
These triangle scarves work up quickly in Aunt Lydia's "Denim" Quick Crochet. An online source for this thread is Herrschners.
The chart is worked in a 3 dc mesh. Each mesh consists of 3 double crochet.
The last dc of each mesh is also counted as the first dc of the next mesh.
First Open Mesh of a Row: Chain 4, skip next chain-1 space or dc of previous row, dc in next dc.
Each Additional Open Mesh: Chain 1, skip next chain-1 space or dc of previous row, dc in next dc.
Each Additional Solid Mesh: Dc in next chain-1 space or dc of previous row, dc in next dc.
Materials: 150 yds. Aunt Lydia's "Denim" Quick Crochet (Blend of 75% Cotton,
25% Acrylic). US size 3 steel hook
Finished Size: 16 1/4 inches wide at Row 1 (not counting ties)
and 9 inches long from center to point.
Gauge: 5 dc = 1 inch, 4 rows = 1 1/2 inches
Abbreviations: ch = chain, dc = double crochet, sl st = slip stitch
How to Decrease at the Beginning and End of Each Row: After row 1,
at the beginning of each new row, you will
slip stitch in first ch-1 space, slip stitch in next dc, then
chain 4, skip next dc or ch-1 space, dc in next dc (first open mesh made).
At end of each row, leave the last open mesh unworked.
Starting Chain: Chain 92.
Following Chart: Begin at bottom right-hand side of chart, working first row right to left.
For next row, follow chart from left to right. Continue alternating
directions in this manner at each new row.
Getting Started: To help you get started, I've written out the directions for the first
two rows. Continue to follow the chart from there. Once the basics of
filet crochet are learned, written directions are not needed for each
new chart. For a refresher on filet crochet basics, see:
Row 1: Dc in 8th ch from hook (first open mesh made),
(ch 1, skip next ch, dc in next ch) repeat to end. (44 open mesh)
Row 2 on Chart (Following chart left to right): Slip stitch in first ch-1 space, slip stitch in
next dc. Chain 4, skip next dc or ch-1 space, dc in next dc (first open
mesh made). (ch 1, skip next ch-1 space, dc in next ch) 19 times, (dc in ch-1
space, dc in next dc) 3 times (3 solid mesh made), (ch 1, skip next ch-1 space,
dc in next ch) 19 times. Leave last open mesh unworked. Turn.
Rows 3 - 22: Follow chart.
End off.
Finishing: Attach thread in first dc of row 1. (Chain 2, slip stitch in first dc of next row) repeat. At row 22, you will have worked a slip stitch in the first dc of that row, slip stitch in ch-1 space, chain 3, leaving chain-3 loop and last loop of each of next 2 dc on the hook dc in next dc, dc in ch-1 space, thread over, pull through all loops on the hook, chain 1 to close. Now working down other side of scarf: (Chain 2, slip stitch in edge dc of next row), repeat. When you have reached row 1 and have worked a slip stitch in the edge dc of row 1, sl st in side of same dc, chain 80 for tie, slip stitch in each chain of tie. Slip stitch in end of row 1. Slip stitch in each stitch across the front edge of scarf (this gives edge a nice finished look). When you have reached opposite end, chain 80 for tie, slip stitch in each chain of tie. Sl st up to first chain-2. Work 3 single crochet in each chain-2 space along edge of scarf. 3 single crochet in center stitch of row 23 at point of scarf. Work 3 single crochet in each chain-2 space along edge of scarf. Slip stitch in end of row 1. End off. Weave in ends.

Clifton, New Jersey Fire Goes to Four Alarms
CLIFTON, NJ - July 12,2006 -- A fire broke out in a restaurant at 341 Clifton Avenue that engulfed at least four buildings on Wednesday, July 12th, injuring no one, but sending billowing-gray smoke through the air which could be seen for about five miles.
The blaze reported at about 4:30 pm, when a witness heard a small explosion from the kitchen, and then flames and smoke appeared, which quickly spread to the adjacent buildings and apartments.
Clifton Fire Chief John Dubravsky, who would not comment on how the fire started at that time just stated that "the report we received was there was a fire in the restaurant."
The owner stated that his workers tried effortlessly to extinguish the fire but were unable to "stop the smoke and flames." He said, "there was to much. They tried there best, I am so grateful they were not hurt."
The chief was concerned about the adjacent building, and activated Passaic County mutual aid. This brought in several area towns. Besides the restaurant being destroyed by the fire, there was an H&R Block, a vacant store, a mortgage company, several apartments, and some a storage facility in the rear.
The fire was brought under control at about 11:30 pm, and is under investigation.

Histomorphometric Analysis of Rabbit Calvarial Bone: Storage in Saline Solution Versus Storage in Platelet-Poor Plasma
Paula Dechichi, PhD/Camilla Christian Gomes Moura, MDSc/Sandro Izaíras Santana, MDSc/Darceny Zanetta-Barbosa, PhD
Purpose: In reconstructive procedures harvested bone grafts are often temporarily stored in extraoral media while the recipient site is prepared. The aim of the present study was to analyze histomorphometrically osteocytes in calvarial bone grafts stored in either physiologic saline solution or platelet-poor plasma (PPP). Materials and Methods: Calvarial bone fragments were obtained from 12 rabbits and fixed immediately in formalin (control) or stored in PPP or in saline solution for 30 minutes prior to fixation. All specimens were decalcified and embedded in glycol methacrylate. A differential osteocyte count (normal osteocytes, abnormal osteocytes, and empty lacunae) was performed for the sections and submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Fisher least-square-difference (LSD) test. P < .05 was considered significant. Results: The histomorphometric analysis demonstrated statistically significant differences among the groups (control, PPP, saline) for all analyzed parameters (P < .05). The median number of normal osteocytes observed was 31.8 ± 2.3 for the control group, 29.7 ± 4.2 for the PPP group, and 19.1 ± 4.6 for the saline group. The median number of abnormal osteocytes observed was 14.7 ± 3.9 for the saline group, 8.7 ± 2.3 for the PPP group, and 7.0 ± 2.3 for the control group. The median number of empty lacunae observed was 12.9 ± 4.7 for the saline group, 8.5 ± 2.4 for the PPP group, and 6.9 ± 2.3 for the control group. Conclusion: The current study has shown that PPP is a better storage medium for osteocyte preservation than physiologic saline solution. The best results were observed in the control group.

Composition: A Polyolefine ribbon outer wrap material gives this string more spin.
5 Stars Love it!
Maggie from IA wrote (March 26, 2014):
I've tried different strings for topspin and this is by far the best! It has a lot more grab on the ball, which helps get more topspin and combined with the softness, helps with feel. My daughter hits with some pretty hard hitters and tried Luxilon & other string of the same type and ended up with a hand and arm injury within a few weeks of each other.

JP and his friend were fantastic guests. They were so neat and clean that the apartment might have been cleaner when we returned than when we left. And they even watered our plants despite no request or reminder. They were on time, communicated well with us after the booking and all in all we would have them again anytime.
John Paul stayed at my condo when he needed accommodations in the area for his work--his company sent him to Waltham from Philadelphia. He was like a phantom--my place looked like no one had stayed there after he left (smile). He is polite and thoughtful --a responsible and friendly young man. I would welcome him back anytime.
Great, easy guests. I'd be happy to have them back at any time.

Jake TuckerFounder and VisionaryJacob A. Tucker was a jovial, hard working leader who moved about in the transportation industry and civically too. People remember him for a positive personality, for always having a joke ready, and for his respectful nature. Jake was elected mayor of Alden, PA. His career in transportation began as a traffic manager for Dixie Cup. He later changed careers to enter freight sales, where he worked for several trucking firms, including Roadway Express in the 1950s. It was after he had the opportunity to learn the business and build rapport with his fellow colleagues that he decided to go into business for himself, by purchasing a very rare and peculiar business type—a property (freight) brokerage. At the time, there may have been only 7 in existence, and since that time, only one other freight broker authority is still operating today. |
Bill TuckerRetiredWilliam J Tucker received his B.A. from Temple University in 1962, and immediately signed up for President Kennedy's Peace Corps, serving in the Philippines until May, 1964. When he returned home he decided to enter the business world selling. A few years later he married Barbara K. Tucker and entered the systems programming field working for UNIVAC (now UNISYS), RCA Service Co. and a consulting firm in NYC. By 1971 he received his MBA in Information Science from Temple University. In 1972 Bill bought the Tucker brokerage firm from his mother Ruth. Bill is a Founding Member of Transportation Brokers Conference of America (TBCA), now Transportation Intermediaries Association, served on the Board for the first 10 years and later another 4 years helping found and grow the Certification system from which hundreds of Certified Transportation Brokers have emanated. During his career, Bill was a busy writer of articles on brokerage, the freight and trucking systems of the country, relationships in the industry, the sales and marketing world of freight from the 1960's, 70's and through deregulation in 1980 to today's highly efficient, productive and responsive North American freight world. Today probably more freight moves with intermediary arrangement than not. |
Jeff TuckerPresident and CEOJeff graduated with a B.A. from University of Delaware in 1991, and received an M.B.A. in Physical Distribution from Temple University in 1997. Jeff began selling for Tucker in 1992 through 2000. In 2001 he was promoted to Executive Vice President of Sales, where he was responsible for outside and inside sales people, marketing, and development of dedicated logistics management programs, where Tucker controls all or a significant portion of a shipper's freight. Jeff has been a guest instructor at Villanova University, Penn State University, Rutgers University, and Temple University on the topic of third party logistics. In 2004 Jeff was named CEO of Tucker Company Worldwide. Jeff is both Treasurer, and a Board of Directors member of TIA; Jeff has served on the boards for Truckload Carriers Association, National Industrial Transportation League; and Temple University Marketing Advisory Board. Jeff is chairman of the TIA Carrier Selection Committee, and co-wrote the only trade association endorsed guideline for carrier selection. Jeff also supports his community through various organizations such as the Fellowship House, Little League and the Rotary Club. |

Remove Images Booters start season with no referees and a tie game August 31, 2011 Oxford's varsity boys soccer team had an unusual start to the 2011 season. On Tuesday, August 23, the Wildcats were scheduled to play Farmington Hills Harrison at home behind Oxford Elementary in their season opener. Oxford showed up. Farmington showed up. The only problem was the referees didn't show up, causing Oxford to reschedule the match for later in the season and leaving varsity head coach John Thaler a little irritated. Instead of playing Harrison in a home and away, Thaler agreed to play Harrison twice in Farmington because "they had already come to our place," he said. The Wildcats finally got the season underway on Thursday, August 25 when they traveled to West Bloomfield and played to a 1-1 draw. Following an uneventful first half which saw both teams come up empty on the few chances they had, Oxford's aggressive style of play finally paid off when senior forward Marco Bonfiglio collected a pass from fellow senior Mike Kitchner and slipped it by the goalie for a 1-0 lead. However, West Bloomfield turned up the pressure and earned seven corner kicks within the final 15 minutes. With three minutes left, they tied the score at one off of a corner kick. Oxford currently sits at 0-0-1 and traveled to Birmingham Seaholm on Tuesday, August 30. Look for results in next week's Leader. |

Technology doesn't matter. Look, any idiot with some very basic tools can make a DIAS. The law still says it's illegal to make one. And, you don't even need any fancy technology to make one. Magazines would be the same thing - if they are illegal, then they are illegal - doesn't matter if you can make one out of chewing gum and paper.

That's right, illegal would be illegal. A 3D printer is just another tool. Perhaps it's an issue because it's easier to make something? Download, slice, print. Perhaps it's the convenience? Or requires a lower skill level?
Keeping an optimistic view, 3D printed parts are something else that forces the real issues on the table, and it's not gun control. Among many things, it's a social problem. Yet the (supposedly) well educated leaders of our great country can't make common sense decisions. Any laws or regulations that may get passed will demonstrate their ignorance or intelligence. |

It would be very different if the ability to manufacture a thing verifiabliy happens before said thing is banned.
1. "Oh these 1000 mag tubes and 50 AR15 lowers? My cat sat on the "Print" button - years ago, before the ban. Oops silly cat" 2. Despair working against those who would otherwise support. Would the casual participant so ardently want a ban on something a "criminal" could really so easily reproduce? Going off on another tangent. . . with viable accessible 3D printing we would face a renaissance of incredibly cool designs and the ability to trivially digitally share them. The guns you buy are designs limited by turn of the (19th) century machining, or later stamping, casting or mass production molding. The next set of designs based on "printable" enthusiast boutiquey one-off components is in front of us. |

I suspect someone will make one with stock included similar to CAV arms and that will be far more successful that the others. The one that went 20 rounds was made with the wrong material on the wrong machine from what I gather. The 80+ round one was made months before it.

Some of the things on the warrant against the Branch Davidians included statements about them owning the tools for making automatic weapons conversions for their otherwise legal guns. Listed tools included milling machines and lathes.
Future warrants will include 3-D printers and CNC machines. |

It's no different from executing a warrant on a drug lab - the police are going to seize scales, baggies and other paraphernalia in the lab as potential evidence, even though they may all have other, legal uses. |

I'm in another zone
from Meek Mill – Dreamchasers 2 Outro Lyrics on Genius
Potentially a double entendre. Can be interpreted as:
1)He is in another zone (area code) staying away from the cops until the coast is clear
2) After the get away, he's clearing his mind right with some substances and is in another zone.

ISpNotifySource (SAPI 5.3)
In both speech synthesis and speech recognition, applications receive notifications when words have been spoken or when phrases have been recognized. SAPI components that generate notifications implement an ISpNotifySource.
The ISpNotifySource and ISpNotifySink interfaces alone only provide a mechanism for a notification but no information on the events that caused the notification. With an ISpEventSource object, an application can retrieve information about the events that caused the notification.
Applications will not typically use the free-threaded ISpNotifySink mechanism for receiving SAPI event notifications. They will use one of the simplified methods of either a window message, callback or Win32 event.
Note that both variations of callbacks as well as the window message notification require a window message pump to run on the thread that initialized the notification source. Callback will only be called as the result of window message processing, and will always be called on the same thread that initialized the notify source. However, using Win32 events for SAPI event notification does not require a window message pump.

@ nschomer
But keep regurgitating Fox News talking points, and complaining about how most of the poor have access to refrigeration for their food. It is sad and ridiculous just how many times this statistic has been thrown up, the bottom 50% of Americans have a whopping 2.5% of the country's wealth, your solution to our debt crisis of "spreading the pain" is not only cruel, it is patently ridiculous and utterly worthless.
We're talking about capital gains here. And yes, I am currently sitting in a mansion wearing a manacle and rubbing my hands together and snickering about taking peoples refrigerators away or pushing old ladies in wheel chairs off of cliffs. Tee hee!
My point was that Lex's claim that wealthy individuals should pay "at least as much as the working man" was ridiculous. The primary income tax structure in the US is obviously very progressive, as I made evident through my example that a guy making 250k in NY pays 10x more taxes than the guy making 60k but retains only 2x the disposable income.
I assume that Lex was really referring to Warren Buffet's claim that he pays less income tax than his secretary. Most people in the top income bracket in the US are not billionaire investors who derive all of their income from capital gains. This is an extremely unique circumstance. If my capital gains were taxed at the same rate as primary income, I would have no incentive to invest it in the markets.
I really do feel the need to congratulate you though. It was quite a leap to make the jump from capital gains to Fox news and poor people's refrigerators, but you did it! Good JOB! :)
in concurrence with J'-
a flat tax would almost eliminate the "c" word from the discussion in terms of making up the deficit because it wouldn't matter your socioeconomic status (whether it be the 91% of Americans that perceive themselves to be in the middle class OR the people taking welfare from my paycheck every two weeks), everyone would be surrendering the same proportion of their income.
and although the percentage is the same, it almost works in with the same principle as a progressive tax in that the wealthier end up paying a greater magnitude of money. and no one is offended by being lumped into a tax bracket or class that they feel they don't belong to.
it would be the best compromise, and i feel the best mechanism towards putting a dent in our deficit.
I agree with all the people who posted before me. the political party run by my opponents suckers morons with wedge issues that don't and shouldn't matter and prevents them from voting correctly(for the party I support).
they are also racist. racist, moron, wedge issue voters. if they ever want to stop being racist morons, it is imperative that they vote correctly for the issues that really matter and not the stupid meaningless issues that they only think matter. their opinion is crap anyway, at least until it agrees with mine.
The problem with trying to talk about class in America is at least partly that Americans do not mean the same thing by the word "class" as Eurpoeans do.
In Europe (from what I understand), class depends on what you do for a living and/or who your parents were. In America, class depends only on who much money you've got.
There is, for example, no real American concept of nouveau riche -- certainly not with the negative implications that the term has in Europe. And there is no difficulty in seeing yourself, and being seen by others, as "middle class" even if your job is one which would definitively make you working/lower class in Europe. All that matters in America is whether you make enough money doing it to afford a certain level of material comfort.
Once you realize what the definition is, it becomes obvious why most Americans think that they are middle class. They aren't in poverty, and they aren't rich, therefore . . . .
"Rich" is, admittedly, a somewhat elastic category. Whether the line gets drawn at $100,000 per year, or at $500,000 or $1 million per year (or somewhere else) is frequently a matter of personal preference -- driven mostly by how close you are to the that range. But there is no real concensus.
And, since the categories are not determined by occupation or ancestry, people can change class without feeling like they are changing themselves. Whereas in Europe (again, as I understand it), you may have as much or more economic mobility, without having as much class mobility.
Perhaps the way to say it is that class=economics in America, but in Europe the two are, if not orthogonal, at least skewed from each other.
No matter what the economic policy that is suggested or put in place by one party or the other, a large amount of people will be unhappy. The idea of taxing the rich very heavily obviously is arousing some controversy, but the stat that was given in this piece has to be a bit misleading. "A Gallup poll published on September 20th found that those who supported raising the taxes of the rich outnumbered opponents by 66% to 32%". These numbers appear the way they are simply because the rich are outnumbered by middle and lower classes, causing the percentages to be skewed. Most middle and lower class citizen will have voted FOR taxing the rich while most rich will have voted against it. I just believe that the statistic given is completely useless, and there is no real solution to this tax issue that will make everyone happy. The Government just needs to make a well thought out decision and stick to whatever they believe will get our great country out of this hole. Someone will always have something negative to say about our government's decisions.
That 50% paying no taxes, exactly how much do you think you can squeeze out of them, have you actually taken any time to discover exactly WHO is "not paying taxes" - by which, of course, you mean not paying federal income tax, not all taxes.
~50% of them are making under $20,000/year, basically wage slavery, you might be able to afford food, and maybe shelter, but god help you if you get sick (especially before the health care law kicks in) or your car breaks down, or you need to pay for daycare...
~25% are the elderly, living off of social security. They don't pay taxes because they are JUST over the poverty line, and aren't very likely to go back to work any time soon, unless Perry rips the rug out from under them.
~25% are UNEMPLOYED!!! They aren't "cheating the system", they are DIRT POOR, you're not gonna get something out of nothing.
But keep regurgitating Fox News talking points, and complaining about how most of the poor have access to refrigeration for their food. It is sad and ridiculous just how many times this statistic has been thrown up, the bottom 50% of Americans have a whopping 2.5% of the country's wealth, your solution to our debt crisis of "spreading the pain" is not only cruel, it is patently ridiculous and utterly worthless.
What ever happened to centrism?
It's very strange to try and define middle class. You can't compare salaries at all, because regions differ so much. People in Northern Virginia can make up to double the amount of someone in a place like Texas, but relative to house prices and other factors can have a lower Real income despite the fact that their nominal wage is higher. I would like to know how many people identify themselves as lower class and how many are actually in the lower class. There could be some psychological or sociological experiment to see the differences.
We in India link money that a person earns to his class because wage is a wise and most natural tool to tell apart the haves from the have-nots. It is silly to place a voter in the middle class because he has a degree. It's time to count your cash and ask social benefits that were due to you.
Lassez Faire economics has been very good to the rich in America. Many of them have earned their fortunes through hard work and smarts, while others have exploited an under-regulated financial system, to the detriment of America - to get their fortunes.
Whichever way the rich have made their fortunes, America is now in dire need of help. Spending will obviously have to be curtailed across the board; however, revenues will still be needed. Taxing the rich won't solve the entire problem.
But, there are choices to be made. And if the choice is between letting people of less means lose health benefits, or cutting some other program that benefits a lot of people - and taxing the rich a bit more, then tax the rich some more it must be. The alternative is highly unfair - if not downright immoral.
It seems to me that the decent - indeed forward-thinking thing to do - is for the rich to give back to the country that has provided them with the best environment in which to conduct business. They can handle it. They will still be rich. But a person who has their health benefits cut only has one life.
Time to save the system that has benefited them so much. The middle and lower classes are hurting really bad and sacrificing their normal lifestyles (and often much worse). The rich have benefited greatly from the tax cuts of the prior decade. That is now a luxury that America cannot afford. Time for the rich to do their part.
Due to the complexity of America's ethnic backgrounds, a very short national history, and the importance of religion, "disenfranchised" in the USA does not map directly to "poor". This is why European style class politics are difficult here. The Republican party is certainly the party of the powerful, and the Democratic party is certainly the party of those who need help to help themselves, but a large part of the poor, by virtue of their being white, evangelical Christians, find themselves feeling much closer to the 'powerful' than they feel to the freaks, weirdos, and immigrants (mutants, in the BoingBoing sense of the word) pounding at the gate.
"We are in the debt hole we're in because of decades of GOP fiscal irresponsibility"
Are you going to just click 'paste' into every comment section with this garbage? I note you get a lot of people reccommending this comment, but sorry, its not based on fact.
Spending bills originate in the House of Representatives. For the vast majority of the 20th and 21st centuries that body was controlled by, you guessed it, the Democrats. Likewise all of the wars except Gulf War I and II were fought by, ding ding, Democrats. WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam.
Please 'paste' some facts into your next post.
@Blues Chicago--the reason why there is nobody covering those protests is b/c its a bunch of kids in their early 20's who look like they've never had a job to lose but have an excess amount of cannabis along with a few middle aged guys in hard hats sprinkled in who look like they are on break from the job they are complaining about. I have several photos on my phone's camera I'd love to upload for you.
@Sherbrooke--American's have no real choice when it comes to entertainment? Really? I realize your name is probably the town south of Montreal, Canada so you may never have been anywhere except upstate NY, but still. We do not have to have the content rule here my friend. America exports so much entertainment around the world we piss you guys off for Americanizing everyone. I've travelled all over the world and no matter where I've gone, no matter how obscure the langauge, there was an insane amount of entertainment which originated here. Puh-leaze. The only thing we don't have in abundance (i.e. televised) is soccer (aka futbol) and cricket, and that's just b/c we don't fancy them sports. Come down to NYC and see if you get bored in this entertainment wasteland. Or go to Chicago, San Francisco, LA, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Miami, or Washington DC. Try the middle too with Denver. I'd even pit Kansas City or Nashville against most places up there.
@ Sherbrooke,
For a leftist, it seems you are high on the capitalist system of your league. Are you joking? That's all small teams in Europe can do is dream big. There is no such thing as fair and open competition; you're one reference is from a team in the '90's? Your league is dominated by the rich and if smaller teams make any headway the players are bought out and the team must start over. I would think someone who is arguing for a level playing field would be against rooting for such a system. Enjoy watching M.U. win again or Chelsea if they're lucky.
The only class that needs to go is the entitlement class.
I don't know how anyone can take the class war posturing of the left seriously when they support open borders. Open borders are harmful for the domestic working class and 100% in line with the agenda of global capitalism. Is there anything more odd than people who constantly talk about plutocracy doing the biding of the cheap labor lobby?
Here is my beef with the American right:
America has some of the leat social mobility in the western world. All your talk about being the land of oppurtinity is complete bull shit. Just admit that. You are an EXTREME class society, probably only beaten by the UK in the West.
Of course, Americans went on to watch teams of millionaires owned by billionaires. Cause they have no other choice. It's not like Europe, when every small team can dream it big and beat the big guys in fair and open competition (just like Wolverhampton did in mid-90es). Nope, it's all for big guys about big guys.
Even attempts to move major league teams were met with fierce resistance (case to the point: a failed bid to move Phoenix Coyotes to Hamilton that ended up in NHL-wide poostorm). This is not to mention all the counter-market measures like salary caps and the like enforced by league.
The fact that Americans have no real choice when it comes to entertainment is only testament to the fact that American class society has to go, not the other way round.
Also, its a myth that there is a myth that there is no social class in America. Everyone has been well aware of this for a long time. The only people who keep nagging about it are sociologists who need something to write about that makes them feel relevant.
"accused Barack Obama this week of waging "class warfare" by suggesting that millionaires should pay at least the same rate of tax as the common man"
Please Lex, stop pandering. The US tax system is highly progressive as you are well aware. You know that more than 50% of Americans pay no tax at all, while the top 10% pay 71% of income tax. This is hardly the same rate, and what Obama said was that wealthier Americans should pay "their fair share".
Currently an individual making 250,000 who lives in New York pays about $125,000 or more in taxes. Someone making $60,000 pays about $11,160. That's more than 10x more taxes. Ultimately the guy making 250k has only twice as much disposable income as the 60k guy, but he pays 10x more taxes. How is that not fair?
You cannot seriously be in favor of raising capital gains tax. Just because one unique wealthy individual, Warren Buffet, makes all his income in capital gains does not mean we should raise the rate for all of us little fish. It wouldn't be worth investing for me if my returns(assuming I ever actually have any again) were taxed at 40%. If Buffet is really so hot to send all his money to the IRS I'm sure they wouldn't object.
There seriously needs to be a distinction made between super billionaires and people making a few hundred thousand. Obama himself says ,"people like me who can afford to pay a little more". He made over $2 million last year.
Perhaps it might be helpful to forget socio-economic class labels when discussing the characteristic features of the society of the United States, and use instead the labels "very rich" and "very poor". America's middle class is no longer growing, and may even be in decline, but numbers of people in the very rich and very poor categories are increasing apace - a trend that tells us a lot about present-day trends in American politics.
By the way a little covered news item has been that protesters have been camping out on Wall Street for a few weeks now in protest of the fat cats they feel haven't been adequately called out and punished for the pain they inflicted on the economy. Although I'm pro-capitalism the bankers have way too much control over the economy considering they create no new real wealth.

Mystery of the Castle?
It has been requested that additional images should be uploaded for this article. Remove this only when the image(s) have been uploaded for this article or section. Mystery of the Castle? is the second secret level in Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. The level starts out with Yoshi going right-to-left over a few long pits of spikes, while avoiding several Fangs. After that, the Player finds a Egg Block and a Warp Pipe. After going through the Warp Pipe, the player finds a hidden Winged Cloud, and a maze of bridges over lava. Eventually the player finds a Middle Ring. Eventually through the maze, the player finds a Warp Pipe going upwards; Once the player go through the Warp Pipe, they have to choose one of the two ways to go, a door and another Warp Pipe. The door is out of reach so the player needs to bounce on a Zeus Guy. After going through there, they are able to throw an Egg to break a rock on the ceiling, causing an Arrow Lift to fall down, allowing them to bounce up to a platform with hidden coins. Then, the player goes back down, and through the Warp Pipe. Through it, there is another Middle Ring. After crossing some spikes, the player continue upwards, riding Flatbed Ferries, until the player winds up in another maze of bridges. Through that, the player finds some rocks they need to throw eggs at to break, and after breaking them, the player can go through a Warp Pipe. The player then winds up at the end of the level. However, the player can get a key, somewhere else through the maze, and ride an Arrow Lift to get up to a locked door. Upon entering that locked door, the player finds a Middle Ring. The player then needs to cross a long gap of Thorns. After that, the player goes down a long shaft, at the bottom, they need to cross a pit of Spikes. After crossing it, they find a few ways to go, with one of them being a door that takes the player back to the maze area. Instead, the player must ride an Arrow Lift upwards, and across a pit of Spikes, in order to reach an area where they can Ground Pound a breakable rock, and get to a door. Upon entering the door, they find a Red ! Switch. The player can hit it to make Red Blocks appear so they can cross a pit of lava. After crossing the pit, they get to a door, that takes them back to the shaft they went down earlier. If the player keeps going this way, they are stuck in an endless circle, so the only reason to go around that way, is to get extra points and items. Enemies[edit]Names in other languages[edit]

Lafayette Jeff comes in as the underdog anxious to show how much it has improved over the past 10 weeks.
McCutcheon is out to prove it is better than it showed during a regular-season misstep.
By avenging regular-season losses to Kokomo and Logansport, respectively, the Bronchos and Mavericks would produce an all-Tippecanoe County sectional final for the first time since 2002.
It would also be the first such meeting at Crawley Center since 2001, when McCutcheon beat Lafayette Jeff for the title.
"It's nice not to have to get on a bus two or three times a week and head over there," Lafayette Jeff coach Scott Radeker said, referring to the previous three sectionals held at Kokomo or Logansport. "The bottom line is, when the ball's tipped up, the team that plays the best basketball for 32 minutes is going to win. That's what we're trying to stress to our kids."
Lafayette Jeff lost at Kokomo 45-35 on Dec. 15. At that point in the season, the Bronchos had not scored more than 51 points in a game, a threshold they would not surpass until Jan. 4.
Though still not a high-scoring team, Jeff has developed an effective balance led by Tyler Buchanan and Lucas Wallace.
"They've done a great job in a very demanding conference, and their younger guys have done a great job of progressing and getting better," Kokomo coach Brian McCauley said. "Now they have a lot of confidence. They're scrappy; they're tough."
Kokomo's LaBradford Sebree and Tayler Persons combined for 26 points in the teams' first game. But in Radeker's eyes, it wasn't defending the Wildkats that cost Jeff that night.
"Last time we gave up 18 points on turnovers and 13 points on offensive rebounds," Radeker said. "That's 31 of their 45 points. Those are two areas where I think we've really improved since. It really forced us to look at some things and work on some things."
Ask McCutcheon's players and coaches, and they'll likely single out the 44-41 home loss to Logansport on Dec. 15 as their worst game of the season.
The Mavericks even held Berries leading scoring Antonio Penny to eight points. But a 35 percent field goal shooting performance yielded McCutcheon's second-lowest scoring performance of the season.
"We were just terrible on offense last time," McCutcheon coach Rick Peckinpaugh said after an opening-round victory over Harrison.
"Logansport does a good job defensively, and they're a very solid team. ... Three of their kids are seniors and have been here before, and they're rested, so it's going to be a challenge to come back Friday night."
That early loss might help the Mavericks focus on tonight's game rather than look ahead to a potential final against rival Lafayette Jeff or Kokomo. McCutcheon lost to the Wildkats by one point earlier this season.
"We just need to bounce back and make a statement game," McCutcheon junior Nate Deno said.

Hi, guys —
I've had two dreams, both at different times. My first was last year.
I was in a room; it may have been a Chapel. The elders (women) were praying for a lady. The lady, on her knees, liked praying. I'm not sure if she was ill. The elders prayed over her, but she continued to cry. I then asked if I could pray with them. I touched her shoulder, speaking in tongues, (I've never spoken in tongues before), and prayed for her. She began to move in praise filled with joy.
This past week, I had another dream.
There was a girl, sick and laying on the ground. She had her eyes closed, not moving, though I wasn't sure why. I began to pray over her, holding my hand over her body, speaking in tongues. This time the spirit was so strong I felt it in my sleep and the spirit was still with me when I woke up.
I have prayed and asked for understanding because I'm unsure of this. I hope you can give me advise.
Thank You,
John replied:
Dear Montoya, We are dedicated to explaining the Catholic Faith to Catholics and non-Catholics interested in learning about Catholicism. We don't interpret dreams or private revelations. What you need is a good spiritual director who will get to know you and your circumstances and can possibly help you to understand some of your dreams. Dreams, more often than not, are the product of the sub conscience trying to resolve a psychological issue. They are not usually a private revelation. In either case, we are not councilors nor spiritual [advisors|directors], hence, our advice can only be to start by finding a good spiritual director. John
Mary Ann replied:
Montoya —
This is a matter to take to a spiritual director that knows you. God bless. Mary Ann

Hi there, my husband and I will be on this cruise as well along with our 2 kids. Looking forward to our first Disney cruise and the kids first cruise ever. Thanks.
Hey Shoediva, Hopefully I answer all your questions! Yes the FE is open to everyone. Not everyone who joins us on this thread will partake (their choice) but all who want to can! I like the link in the main post as it gives 1 idea of what people do and what a Fish Extender looks like etc. In the past we've recieved so many different sorts of fish extender gifts. I can tell you that the best ones were probably the cheapest. We had a group who owned an italian restaurant in Golden, CO and they gave everyone a bag of seasoning for spaghetti sauce. Just a favorite recipe of theirs in a zip lock bag! In the past other gifts have been hand made magnates, candy from someones hometown (people from Hershey, PA brought Hershey Bars) etc. To PM someone. If you click on my name "N365PA" a little drop down window should open. One option should read something like "Send Personal Message to N365PA." Another way of PM'ing someone is to go to their public profile and in the top left of their "user area" should be a link "Send Message" with assorted ways to send a message when you click on it. As were still very new to the thread, im not sure who is going to take care of the FE list etc. The FE list is sort of a sub roster of people who want to partake in the exchanging of gifts. Were by far not experts at this whole cruise things but if there are any questions, please free to post as I guarantee someone who is going to join our cruise at a later date has the same question and wont ask! I'll do my best to answer your questions the best I can! Clint
Hello, my friend and I will be traveling on this cruise. April 28th can't come soon enough. . . . N365PA, sounds like we are in good hands. Thanks for planning on updating!
Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer all of my questions. I wasn't sure about the FE since there are children in my party, but I definately would like to participate - it looks like fun. My daugther will love it, even though she has no idea we are taking them a Disney cruise - it will be a suprise. Thanks for talking the time to post all of the information and a great place to keep everyone updated.
Hello! We will be on this cruise , too. We'd love to join the FE! I will try to PM. I'm just not sure if I have enough posts to allow me to do that. Is there an email address that I can send the info to?
Welcome to the cruise!! You have 11 posts, and only 10 are required to send a PM. If you'd feel more comfortable just e-mailing me that is fine. The e-mail address is email@example.com
He said he got the message. The FE list is now opened. Please click on the link below (it will also be in my signature) and add your information to the list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApatTyLGlN9DdGJkVDV4MFU0Ym5sYndWSWFLQ3VwSmc
Hello, so in the FE exchange are the gifts given everyday? Or just once during the cruise? Or is is something at is established closer to sail date? Trying to start jotting down some ideas. Thanks in advance.
Ha ha, I think I will follow your lead and do one per cruise... Especially, if I am trying me hand on making them homemade. We shall see.... Thanks.
There is a thread or two devoted to homemade FE gifts. I have gone both ways-home made and purchased. I think I'm going purchased this time, but we shall see...

As for now you've only been looking at the service-related features, let's dig a bit more into the operations and their corresponding requests.
Each WSDL-based Service exposes a number of operations (conveniently named "operation" in the WSDL) that each have a request and response message format (both optional). In soapUI, the operations for a Service are shown as nodes under the Service node in the project navigator:
In soapUI there isn't much you can do with an Operation; the bottom left properties show a number of read-only values for inspection purposes:
(The only property that can be edited here is the first one; "Description")
For invoking an operation you can add any number of request objects to an operation in the navigator tree. soapUI by default creates a sample request for each operation when importing, as can be seen below:
Double-clicking a request opens one of the more common concepts in soapUI, the request editor:
(a similar editor is available for JDBC, AMF, HTTP and REST requests).
The editor is divided into two main panels, one for the request (left in the above screenshot) and one for the response (right in the screenshot).
Tip: If you don't won't these two editor next to each other you can either change their orientation or select to have them as tabs, all with corresponding buttons in the menu on the top right after the endpoint field (not visible in the above screenshot).
Each editor has a number of views (shown with vertical tabs along the left side of the editor) and a number of inspectors at the bottom;
In the following documents we are going to look into these in more detail, hop along!

The World Record Jump
Sponsorship and becoming a Project Partner
Why not book Steve to deliver a talk at one of your corporate events as away of sponsoring the project in a tax efficient manner.
The jump will be heavily publicised on major news TV channels, newspapers and magazines. We will film all the training and balloon launches for a special TV documentary, followed by a DVD release and book.
An advertising opportunity worth many tens of millions of pounds awaits. Every news programme, magazine and newspaper in the world will want to see the pictures and hear the story of the most dramatic stunt and scientific adventure on earth. Additional to this will be the documentary and the book of the whole journey to break a record which has stood since 1960.
Advertising Potential: In 2003 a British team attempted to launch a high altitude balloon from St. Ives in Cornwall. Although a technical hitch prevented the launch, the whole world was watching in eager anticipation. The project was sponsored by QinetQ who benefited by their involvement. "Before the aborted launch of QinetiQ1 the core audience awareness of the brand was 8%. After it was 44%. The company's website received a 3,000 percent increase in visitor traffic prior to the unsuccessful attempt" (source: Millward Brown)
"The amount of PR value generated for the mission ran into tens of millions" (source: QinetiQ IQ Magazine)
All this media attention was for a potential ground breaking high altitude balloon flight. Combine this with the a one man parachute jump from the edge of space, and the PR value will be multiplied many times over.
Discuss Sponsorship Options with us: To discuss sponsoring us email us at email@example.com with 'sponsor' in the subject and we'll get back to you, or call us at the numbers on the contact page. Make a Sponsorship Donation via PayPal: If you'd like to support this project by making a sponsorship donation, we'll be delighted, however little it may be.

Is there a step by step for a stepping of the mast?

Hey Gil,
Sounds like you want to un-step your mast so you can access your keel bolts and your mast is keel stepped not deck stepped.
The steps I would do are:
- remove cotter pins from Clevis pins
- loosen all turnbuckles as the mast will not fall as it is keel stepped
- disconnect all mast wiring (lights, antenna etc)
- find the crane and crane operator at LLM and induce them to un-step your mast. They will wrap a strap around it and raise it up to your spreaders before actually raising the mast.
- once the crane is ready to lift the rig take out ALL the Clevis pins from every stay and shroud and keep in a safe place.
- let the crane lift your mast carefully
- put mast next to your boat while you mess with your keel bolts (might want to get several saw horses to put it on especially if you have a roller furling system - you don't want to foils/extrusions to bend too much).
I may be able to come and visit you at your boat next Thursday.
Proceed with the next steps...
Good luck.

Sonic ReducerConstantines Tournament Of Hearts (Sub Pop)Oh, Canada, is there no end to the brilliant music born of your cold, cold womb and exported from your exotic land? Here, the sound of the Ontario province is somewhat post-punk and similar to the Afghan Whigs (which is cemented by the vocal likeness to Greg Dulli). Tournament of Hearts is epic in scope and embodies a strange tone which has the power to summon dark delusions and desperate entreatments, an album which is good in its entirety. Silversun Pickups Pikul (Dangerbird Records)The six-song debut EP from Silversun Pickups, who are part of Los Angeles' fabled Silverlake music community, begins deceptively with potential pop-hit "Kissing Families," possibly the best song I've heard all year. To my initial disappointment, the rest contains the same intriguing, effects-heavy guitar arrangements, but instead of pop the pace gradually slows and the songs become intense and mesmerizing. I am now patiently awaiting a full-length. The Pussycat Dolls PCD (A&M Records)I don't think you can really consider this music. Instead, it's a messed-up gimmick filled with some questionable tits, ass, voice synthesis and overpaid producers. These are the jerks who, along with the once respectable Busta Rhymes, brought us the song "Don't Cha," which, to the stripper's delight, offers heavy suggestions of infidelity ("don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?"), and which is so overmarketed that an Alibi editor's five-year-old daughter recently came home singing those very lines. The Pussycat Dolls represent the very worst in pop-culture and thus, deserve to die. | Today's EventsUNM Student & Faculty Recital: Stephanie Opsal • clarinet • Alex Austell • trumpeter • Kristin Ditlow • piano at Keller HallWildewood • indie, Americana at Canteen BrewhouseDanger Zone Karaoke at Ned's Bar & GrillMore Recommented Events ›› | |
